How to Use the Minc Toner Ink:
Important reminders:
We can't wait to see the designs, sentiments, images, and more that you stamp and foil!
I love the Minc system and have used it a lot with a toner-based printer and I have been extremely pleased with it. So I jumped at this as I had stamps I would foil given a chance. Here's the thing that's the caveat: this liquid toner dries fast and you have to put it into a special stamp pad to use it for which they gave you an ink pad case (center of photo) with an ink pad in it and 2 replacement ink pads. The paper instructions say that when the ink pad is dried out, throw out the dried one and replace it with a new one. So I put the toner on a Q-tip and timed it. At 5 mins the toner was still damp and it transferred well onto a paper. At 10 mins it was dry as a bone.
This is not a Game Over for me -- well, couldn't anyway because I opened it. BUT definitely the ink pad with toner on it needs to be in an airtight container. and you must work fast. And Heidi Swapp better be planning on selling new pads and replacement toner at a more reasonable price. Here's hoping the StaZon ink cleaner can get the toner off of my stamps!
You can easily accomplish the same thing by purchasing any powdered laser toner refill, for about $8, empty sponge stamp pads, about $1 a piece, and there you have it! Actually, I didn’t even bother buying empty sponge stamp pads; I just cut up sponges and placed them inside a cheap dollar store plastic box!
Was so excited to get this thinking it would be a great "additional" use for ALL my stamps...and I have a lot of them. There are no instructions in the box, but I thought it would be pretty self explanatory...just put ink on pad...stamp on paper...and foil. Well, didn't work quite that easy...only parts of the stamped area picked up the foil. I tried doing it right away and waiting for the ink to dry, but neither was really satisfactory. I will see if I can view a video and see if I was doing something wrong. Also the ink pad can't be saved for later or anything so you have to do a bunch...it says within two hours. I guess it just wasn't exactly all I had hoped it would be.
I was so excited that i could turn. Any stamp I have to a beautiful foiled design ---- it barely worked !!! Tore my paper rand barely stamps and worst of all it lasts 2 HOURS!!!!! What ?? It is way over priced too !!! Good luck !
It is real messy so be sure to prepare for this and protect your surface. The image has to stamp real clear and the ink even all the way across so if one spot has less ink etc the image doesn't foil correctly. This being said the only way I can do this is to use a stamp positioner because I am just not a good stamper, fairly new at it, and the pad will not stay put it falls out of the base when you invert the pad upside down. You also need to not stamp a bunch of images and then foil the ink will dry on you and it will not work. So it is very time-consuming and a hit or miss as to rather or not it will work. When it does work it is just beautiful and a great concept. The idea of being able to foil any stamp is great I just don't think this is for me. I will try it again though, I have it so I am sure going to at least use what I have and we will see if I get any better before the end of the bottle.
When I saw Mary Beth Shaw use this in a Gelli demo I thought how beautiful and great the idea of foils with printing. So I ordered the machine, tried to figure out how to use it, NO INSTRUCTIONS OR TIPS, had some results. No toner pen no extra toner ink included, just three tags preprinted and small pieces of foil and the transfer sheet to put the paper through the machine. Had to try a few times to figure out the temp for the thickness of the tag. Again no tips or instructions. Then I try to order the toner. NOT available most places until I saw the KIT here. Good thing the tips/instructions are posted here and I printed that off so I can have it handy. YES you need to work fast and PRE MEASURE the piece(s) of foil you need so you don't waste any. It just seems this could have been presented as you as you order and that a WHOLE kit comes with the machine. Not just bits and pieces. I know I will enjoy trying to make beautiful cards but I will not recommend this to my card making friends. It was hard to give this 3 stars but I did. GOOD LUCK THOSE THAT BUY!
It is a great product but tricky to use. It takes several tries to make
finished project acceptable.
I bought this because i really really wanted it to work and it just did not. I am an experienced stamper so I tried multiple times and different ways to get this to work and it just was not good. I wish I could attach a pic. It looks really distressed so even where there is black toner ink on the stamped image the foil just doesn't adhere to all of it because I am assuming its not thick enough on the paper. The issue tho is that the image looks perfect on the paper but the foil just won't stick to some of it. If you don't mind the black ink showing in parts then its fine.
This works as Heidi demonstrates on YouTube. Don’t over ink your stamp.
The Minc toner ink is as easy to use as TIm Holtz showed in an Instagram video. No measuring. No waiting. And the toner ink works beautifully.
Also, Scrapbook.com shipped it fast, which was also really nice.
